Minako Organic Japanese Restaurant
My rating: 4 out of 5
Amazing. A Japanese restuarant where I can eat almost anything and not have to worry about meat or byproduct.
My favorites:
Miso – I never get to have the miso at any other place I go.
Agedashi Tofu – Other places bring out a bowl with a few cubes of tofu. Minako’s version is a block of tofu (that’s right, a block…), fried as expected and wading in a pool of lovely sauce. It’s heavenly.
Sushi rolls – Here I can get the vegan versions of those rolls I drool over when I’m out at other restaurants. And they’re delicious.
The owner and her mother – The chef is Mom and you can taste the love in every bite. I was told that she cooks in shifts; all meat, clean the grill, all veggies. This is wonderful. And the owner, who also happens to be part of the wait staff, is equally as lovely.
Recommedations:
If you go, don’t be in a rush. My average dining time has been over an hour. It moves along well if you order some appetizers, a few pieces of sushi and an entree. That way you’ll have food on the table at all times.
They also close when they run out of food, so you’re taking a chance later in the evening, rather then earlier.
Pros: Food, atmosphere, wait staff
Cons: Speed of service
